Questions

Can I clip any YouTube video?

Yes — any video file you have on your device. If it plays in your browser, you can clip it. Your video never leaves your device because all processing happens locally.

Does VideoToReels upload my videos?

No. All processing runs in your browser using WebAssembly (FFmpeg). Your file never touches a server, which makes it ideal for private or unpublished content.

Is it really free?

The free plan lets you process up to 500MB files up to 20 minutes long with 10 videos per day — enough for everyday Shorts. The Pro plan adds up to 1GB files, 60-minute videos and unlimited processing for $5/month.

What's the best length for a Short?

Short-form vertical clips usually perform best at 30–60 seconds. You can pick a platform preset (Shorts, Reels or TikTok) and the tool trims to the recommended duration.

Ready to make your clips?

Free in your browser. Your video never leaves your device, and you don't need an account to get started.
